Strategy for England’s Wildlife and Ecosystem Services, Biodiversity 2020 indicators

The indicators show progress towards the vision set out in the 2002 Strategy. They have also been used to demonstrate progress with international commitments to reduce biodiversity loss under the...

The heroin epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s and its effect on crime trends

A historical account of the heroin epidemic in England and Wales, assessing its impact on crime both then and now

Plant cover in a Floridian foredune following hurricane Irma in 2017: effect of experimental wrack removal

The dataset contains plant cover by species sampled on three occasions using a grid of 0.5 x 0.5m quadrats within experimental field plots. The percentage cover of each species was estimated...

Effect of porosity and clays on geophysical and transport properties of sandstone exposed to CO2 injection: Influence of rock heterogeneities on CO2 storage monitoring (NERC Grants NE/X003248/1, NE/X006271/1)

This dataset gathers the data collected during a brine:CO2 flow-through experiments conducted on three sandstones with similar mineralogical compositions (major minerals) but different porosity,...

P-wave velocity and attenuation (1/Q) data of ice-bearing sand pack during melting measured using an acoustic pulse tube under 2.5 MPa effective pressure

The data comprise P-wave velocity and attenuation (1/Q) measurements of ice-bearing sand packs across ice saturation levels during melting, from frozen to fully melted conditions. Using an acoustic...

QICS Data: Effect of a controlled sub-seabed release of CO2 on the biogeochemistry of shallow marine sediments, pore waters, and the overlying water (2012-2013)

The potential for leakage of CO2 from a storage reservoir into the overlying marine sediments and into the water column and the impacts on benthic ecosystems are major challenges The potential for...

Microplastic effect data. The world is your oyster: low-dose, long-term microplastic exposure of juvenile oysters

This dataset contains three separate files form an eighty day exposure study where we exposed juvenile oysters, Crassotrea gigas, to 3 different MP concentrations (10Power4, 10Power5, 10Power6...

Abundance of pollinators and diversity of bees in Ghana and the effect of urbanisation and management practices

Data consists of abundance counts and diversity of pollinators collected in Ghana. Pollinators were sampled with pan-traps between August and November 2016 in 126 greenspaces spread over an...

Published results on the Hydrate Bearing Effective Sediment (HBES) rock physics model (NERC Grant NE/J020753/1)

This excel spreadsheet contains P-wave and S-wave velocity and attenuation data calculated with a novel rock physics model for hydrate bearing sediments. The model has been published in:...

Characterisation, distribution & effects on hydrocarbon reservoir prospectivity of regional tertiary hot fluid pulses in the North Atlantic (HOTFLO)

The project will determine the distribution and magnitude of Tertiary hot fluid pulses throughout the North Atlantic region in order to advance significantly the modelling of thermal history and...

Soil biodiversity, carbon cycling and crop plant biomass responses to experimental biochar amendment of agricultural soil (Dundee, UK)

These data describe the results of a three year (2011-2013) factorial experiment using plant-soil mesocosms testing the effects of biochar on soil biodiversity and soil carbon fluxes. The...

The effects of intergroup conflict on social networks in banded mongooses in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, 2016-2017

This dataset comprises measurements of grooming and aggressive interactions in banded mongooses in response to simulated intergroup conflict, collected from a wild population of banded mongooses on...
